Reborn Cultural Empire

() Rogo could only sigh: "It's up to you, but the magic city has already solved the problem of publishing qualifications for us. Look, do you want to delineate the manuscripts that have been accumulated for more than two months? See See if there's anything you need to focus on?"

The words of Yang Yi, the fat brother, are not to shirk responsibility, although the predecessor of Yang Yi’s publishing, Siyue Culture, is a guy who looks potbellied and can’t get in touch with cultural people anyway, and hardly borrows family strength , It was established abruptly by one's own strength; although before meeting Yang Yi, he actually published a lot of books with considerable sales volume...

But ever since Yang Yi gave some suggestions "over his own strength" and strongly demanded the publication of certain books that in Rogo's view had no market value, and then he still achieved jaw-dropping results, he didn't even dare to think about it. After the sales performance, Siyue Culture added a procedure of "show it to Yang for another look" in the manuscript submission process.And when Siyue Culture changed its identity and changed to the name of Yang Yi Publishing, the final judgment on whether a book was published or not passed from the hands of editor-in-chief Zhao Shuren to Yang Yi.As for this power handover ceremony, not only did Rogo have no objection, but all the editors had no objection, even Mr. Zhao Shuren and Mr. Zhao himself were convinced of this, so that every time Yang Yi was in a different place because of other affairs of Yangyi culture When he was out running and not at the headquarters of the group, Old Master Zhao was a little afraid to make his own decisions. He had to wait for Yang Yi to come back and read it over before making the final decision on whether to publish the manuscript.

So up to now, Yang Yi Publishing has formed a habit, which can also be called the psychological dependence of the editors on Yang Yi's eyes.If there is no consent of this student doll.It seems that no matter how good a book is, it cannot create good results.

"Okay, I see. I'll go to the publishing house tomorrow." Yang nodded.

For this situation, if you want to analyze a person's heart.So the young man was slightly proud from the beginning, even with the strange experience of being a human being in two lifetimes, he could completely turn a blind eye to some things that ordinary people can't see, but this feeling of being needed and praised by others is An essential part of human psychological needs, like morphine that tempts people to fall into the abyss, may not have a positive impact on their spiritual world, but it is an ideological proof of why a person is called a person.Even if it is the president of a country, he occupies a high position that tens of millions of people look up to.They have developed a demeanor that is as immobile as a mountain, but in the deepest part of their hearts, there may not be a place for such psychological needs.And even if Yang Yi is a man in two lifetimes, it is impossible for him to become a fearless superman in a blink of an eye, and he can resolutely abandon all emotions that are not positive.So in the beginning, that's how he felt, proud and self-satisfied.

It may never show on the face, but it does on the inside.

But as the editors in the editorial department of Yangyi Publishing became more and more dependent, he finally realized it.This is probably not a very good phenomenon.For Yu Gong, it is assumed that Yangyi Publishing in the future can become an industry giant like the Commercial Press, and even surpass any other domestic book publishing institutions.Become a foreign Random House, a behemoth like Bertelsmann with the appearance of capital Godzilla, do you still have time to be the final judge of the publishing house?Even within a certain circle.The concentration of unlimited power on a certain individual is also abnormal and should not occur.Also in private.In the future, Yangyi Publishing will undoubtedly become bigger and stronger, but there will be no self-confident editors.Definitely not what a healthy press needs.What Yangyi Publishing needs is a person who can have a keen sense of the book publishing market and who can discover shining pearls from hundreds of millions of words, not a mediocre person who has no courage to make judgments on the market because he has to ask him for advice on everything. .

It's just that the habit has already been formed, and it is much more difficult to get rid of it than it was at the beginning.Moreover, although Yangyi Culture is not too worried about the problem of funds, it is still far from the point where it can be squandered and cast a wide net to not miss it. After investing resources in a book but not getting what it should, It will affect the entire layout of Yangyi Culture.

Considering all the reasons above, Yang Yi can only take up the position of "final judge" temporarily. As for re-cultivating the vision and confidence of the editors, it is better to wait until he has established a firm foothold in Shanghai.

"Well, why don't you just go to Mingqian Jingshe, because it's not just about the manuscripts to be reviewed, there is also a lady who wants to interview the 'person in charge' of Yangyi Publishing, and she has a book she wrote that she wants to read. Published, but because I am not a person in the literary circle, I still have my own concerns about some issues." Rogo's expression was a little bad, and the anxiety he had felt when he first heard that Cao Jianguo was going to take action against Yangyi Culture more than a month ago had long since It disappeared, replaced by the usual shrewdness and cunning.Speaking of Yang Yi's publishing, he was not afraid to tease Yang Yi a little bit.

"Not an insider? In other words, it is not written by a professional writer?" Yang Yi looked at Rogo strangely, wondering which great god or unknown figure in history this is.Because as far as the writing profession is concerned, it is actually an industry with a very low threshold. As long as you can recognize the basic common Chinese characters, it means that you have the basic qualifications for writing.However, if you want to make a book beautiful and moving, at least the kind that readers are willing to spend money on, it depends on everyone's talent.Some writers joined the Writers' Association of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles early on, and the tofu cubes were published one by one in various newspapers and magazines, but he may not really have the strength and talent for writing. It happened by chance, or he could only write short essays within a thousand words.

But there is also a kind of person who has never been exposed to writing before, and even the longest thing written in his life is a Chinese composition in his student days, but when he (or she) really picks up a pen, he can become a blockbuster. What flows out makes senior writers who have been working in Yin Yin for decades stare at it, and even envy it.This kind of people is not uncommon in the bestseller market. Yang Yi has seen many in his previous life, even in the second half of his life.On the forum he relied on for a living, many people wrote long posts.The publisher took a fancy to it and turned the work into typeface.

So after considering this situation, Yang Yi felt that it was very necessary for him to ask that person's name.Maybe I can still have an impression.

"Oh, the name, what's it called... She also gave me a business card, by the way, Wu Shihong, I was very impressed when I took a look at it at the time, a lady used this very masculine name, and It's still the kind of woman who seems to have received higher education and is very aura and quality." Rogo thought for a while.Repeatedly sighed.

Wu...Wu Shihong?Yang Yi scratched his head, feeling that this name is indeed very aura, it seems to be the name of a Jiangnan scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and he is a little impressed, but it is not a very deep one?Could it be just a person with the same name and surname in the previous life: "Then what is the name of her book?"

"Not yet, Ms. Wu said that the name has not been decided yet." Rogo spread his hands, and then suddenly remembered a point that he had almost forgotten: "The other party said that after he revealed his intention to publish a book in the circle, , many friends gave her relevant suggestions, and she came to our Yangyi Culture this time. It was because of the recommendation of Mr. Liu of Lianxiang. Otherwise, she would have found a publishing house in Beijing instead of our company. .”

Lianxiang Liu Chuanzhi's recommendation?So, her circle is in the IT industry?At least it can't escape the range of Zhongguancun?Think carefully about past lives.What books are related to it industry?And it's a best-selling book...Yang Yi fell into thinking, but the books he was interested in in his previous life were all history books or pure literature books.A youth literature may also be added, as for other bestsellers.It's not that I don't pay attention to it, but generally speaking, it is less powerful than the previous ones.If those books were placed in front of him, he might be able to identify them one by one. Those books that were once popular in the book market have never been heard of.But if it is like now, the manuscript has not been officially named, and the author is not a person in the circle, it will be more difficult to recall.

Seeing that Yang started to be dazed after asking a question, Rogo patted him angrily: "Remember, we will meet at Mingqian Jingshe tomorrow afternoon, and I will take Gregory there to read the backlog of manuscripts during this period of time first." After finishing, we will have dinner over there. The time I agreed with that Ms. Wu is 7:[-] pm, and we will settle it together at that time."

Yang Yi had nothing to do, he agreed to Rogo's arrangement, and then waved goodbye.

……

After running outside for nearly half a month, Yang Yi almost turned into a half-elite, almost turning his home into a hotel.Regarding this point, Yang Min, the boy's mother, was quite critical.So after returning to Yuezhou to deal with matters that required him to come forward, Yang Yi thought of his own home, and he should go back to see his mother. Although mother seldom calls these days, she occasionally finds him to ask for food. How about, tell him to take care of himself, but from these extremely small bits and pieces, the boy can feel the deepest love of a mother.

So when the sun was setting and the lights were coming on, Yang Yi returned to his simple but not shabby home with the snacks brought back from the magic city in his hand and tired all over his body.

The hour hand is pointing at 05:30. The old alley of Yuezhou where the Yang family is located has very good lighting because it is surrounded by old residential buildings in the old neighborhood.Slightly yellowish but clear sunlight penetrated into the room, bringing a touch of distant color to the whole room.The living room still looks the same, but it is obvious that there is an additional wall-mounted air conditioner, which is considered fashionable at the moment. This is a special possession that Yang Yi bought in the living room before the arrival of this summer.Although he installed an air conditioner for himself and his mother's bedroom during the first renovation, it is obvious that Yang Min is reluctant to use this kind of home appliance that is rarely used by ordinary people even if he has it. The most frequent activities of housewives are the kitchen and living room at home, and it is impossible for her to turn on the machine in her bedroom to cool down the whole room.

The neighbors have all said that this thing is a monster that eats electricity, and the electricity bill is very scary to use.

Knowing that his mother was unwilling to turn on the air conditioner in the bedroom to cool the living room, Yang Yi simply installed another one in the living room, and ordered his mother to use it only if the indoor temperature exceeded 32 degrees Celsius.It's just that Yang Min will obey his son's orders honestly, that's something he has no way of knowing.
